The thing is that very few packages are using this right now, and I remember
someone asking in debian-devel for early adopters to write a set of guidelines,
but nothing has come out yet.
I should note that apparently it takes some work to get the new dependencies
working, and that currently only packages with *lots* of reverse dependencies
(such as glibc) have it implemented. I personally wouldn't bother for a new
library.
